Kadiz^b1²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 75

12/1

Flattered by her close-up seventh in the Super Sprint at Newbury, and better judged on balance of form, which makes her mark look stiff. Blinkered now, but others preferred.

Form: 624773

Arthur's Spirit¹²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 75| CD

12/1

Scored over C&D in April, but below form twice since, and returns after a lengthy break now. Probably needs further progress to defy his mark, and up against it in all probability.

Form: 82168

(1)

Tinto¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Watson⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 74| BF| D

2/1

Has improved in nurseries, winning at Brighton and running even better in defeat at Bath last time. Clear of the third there, and will take all the beating from inside stall.

Form: 634132

(2)

Starchant⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 72

14/1

More exposed than most, but has plenty of solid form to her name, and paid the price for an overly-aggressive ride over C&D last time. Should run her race, for all she's vulnerable to improvers.

Form: 324034

(5)

Shining³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 72

7/1

Half-sister to connections' useful 6f-7½f winner Black Bess. Best effort in qualifying runs when third of 6 to No Way Jose at Lingfield, but well held when dropped to this trip on nursery debut, and must do better.

Form: 4639

(6)

Master Matt¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: D P Quinn| OR: 69

4/1

Improved on his debut with a promising effort at Windsor (6f, good to firm last month, and ran to a similar level when runner-up at Redcar last time. Opening mark demands more, but he is going the right way.

Form: 752

(8)

Haadhir⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 68

6/1

Han't progressed since a promising debut at Chelmsford in June, but he's run consistently to make the frame on all six starts to date, and his opening mark is fair on balance.

Form: 224333

(3)

Four Wheel Drive¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: D H Brown| OR: 67

11/2

Bit disappointing in a claimer last time, but plenty of solid efforts in defeat prior to that, and handicapper been generous to drop him 5lb since nursery debut. Form of yard is a concern, but he's not taken lightly.

Form: 545245

(7)

Brother Bentley⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: F Norton| T: R Harris| OR: 65

40/1

Best effort to date when front-running sixth of 10 at Wolverhampton in August, but ran moderately last time, and opening mark is stiff, even on the pick of his form.

Form: 768

Forecasts

Tinto (2/1), Master Matt (4/1), Four Wheel Drive (11/2), Haadhir (6/1), Shining (7/1), Lucky Charm (8/1), Kadiz (12/1), Arthur's Spirit (12/1), Starchant (14/1), Brother Bentley (40/1)

TINTO is progressing well, and was clear of the third when runner-up at Bath last time. He's well drawn here, and should take plenty of beating. Kadiz has a big chance on her Super Sprint effort, but may be flattered by it, so looks opposable, with the likes of Four Wheel Drive and Haadhir making each-way appeal in the circumstances.
